Happens quite a lot, most recently Cristiano Ronaldo, players not celebrating a goal when they score against a club that they had a particular emotional attachment to.

Always seems a bit daft when someone lashes a volley into the top corner from 30 yards then looks miserable and walks back to the half-way line. One of those things that always seems to get players a reputation for being classy, when really it's quite disrespectful to your current team-mates.

Taken to extremes, you get incidents like Roberto Baggio refusing to take a penalty for Juventus against Fiorentina.

Why is it disrespectful ?

I never celebrated when I played at school. I didn't see the point.

I like Viduka's goal against Boro recently. Starting celebrating with a big grin on his face, only to stop when he realised he'd promised not to celebrate because he cared for his old team so much. Was good seeing the thought process kick in as he gracefully aborted his celebration.

celebrating is overdone most of the time anyway.

Because your passion should be with them and your current club.

"My colours red, i need to play for this team. But i like Sporting, they are my second home"

Ronaldo :cool:

Not really an issue is it? If a player has a real affection for a club/the fans of a club or even supports them and doesn't want to celebrate scoring against them, it's hardly disrespectful.

Edmundo always misses penalties against Vasco. This is how he shows he loves the club.

And nothing says passion like jumping around like a loony after a goal? The fact you've just scored against themm not enough to show that?
